Both are VERY good.

CBFalconer is quite right about his concerns. GPC is more standard
Pascal. GPC is directly related to the gnu compiler which is good and
bad. Very good people with GPC.

One thing I like about Freepascal is their internal "name mangling."
It seems to provide better namespaces and scopes, im****tant for large
programs. The FPC2 version takes this even further.

As a new user on a linux/P2, FPC1.0.10 will give you years of
learning. These guys are world class experts. You are no beginner, but
don't let these guys pretend you can play in their league.

Have fun with pascal.
